Enhance Your Smile by Taking Away What You Don’t Like

How do you know if you have a gummy smile? That’s simple. If your gums are more prominent than you would like, then you have a gummy smile. The goal of reshaping your gums is to find the right ratio between periodontal tissue and teeth, so you feel good about what you see in your reflection.

At our practice, this cosmetic service is better because we have a periodontist on our team. As a periodontist, Dr. Jonathan Gordon is a specialist in gum health. If you have any anxiety about this procedure, just ask about our sedation options to calm your mind and prevent pain.

Dr. Gordon will typically use a dental laser for your treatment. This is far more comfortable than procedures performed with a scalpel. The laser allows for the painless and precise removal of gum tissue. The laser also seals the remaining tissue to speed up your recovery time.

In addition to removing excess tissue, Dr. Gordon can reposition the tissue you have using s minimally invasive option. Making incisions the size of a pinhole allows him to manipulate the tissue to redefine your gumline.

Do something nice for your gummy smile. Come to Anacapa Dental Art Institute for gum reshaping in Oxnard, CA. Call 805-800-8289 now or schedule online to make your appointment.
